I got asked again the other day. Why are so many if your hire cars white?
Now this is not the first time I have been asked this question, or something quite similar. It pops up from time to time, particularly when customers look into our plant room and observe a sea of white beings with faces staring back at them just begging to be hired out. What? You haven’t ever thought the fronts of many cars resemble faces with their chrome grill mouths and their polycarbonate plastic eyes staring back at you? Well never mind. Perhaps I just have an overactive imagination.
So, back to the oft repeated question. Why so many white cars? Well, for a start, we live in sunny Queensland and it is warm pretty much all year round here. Some even claim . . .

Demurrage
Although demurrage was and is a shipping term, thanks to adaptation by UK Car Rental Companies this concept is now also used to help in the recovery of costs for the victims of road traffic crashes.
What this basically means is that where the party at fault is insured, it is possible to recover your car rental costs from them or their insurance company.

“Once again used Aussie car Rentals - for a 4 day hire only this time. Great service -pickup from airport & drop off within minutes of contacting them. Meant we were on our way quickly.
Basic car (had A/C & Auto)- but certainly served our purpose- and very cheap.

Definitely use Aussie again & have no hesitation in recommending them.”
